The staff are very accessible, attentive and share updates on the children's development quite frequently. The nursery takes the welfare of the children very seriously and puts measures in place to ensure they are healthy and well.

This is an excellent nursery with great staff. My little girl loves going there and she always looks so happy after a day at Hungry Caterpillars. I would recommend any of my friends with children to attend this setting.

Review from Liam G (Father of Child) published on 18 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hungry Caterpillars Nursery has been an amazing experience for both our son and us as parents from the moment we went to look around. We had to put our son into child care at what felt like a young age, we struggled with various childminders, different types of environments and our son really struggled
with this, which was hard for us as parents. This experience certainly had a knock-on effect when it came to looking to put back into child care, which we were very anxious about but thankfully, everything turned around as soon as he started at Hungry Caterpillars. This was a huge relief for us and we were able to drop our son off every day at nursery, knowing he loved his entire time there. The staff are great, very friendly and our son was comfortable with all of them. He is quite a difficult eater at home, but we were able to be comfortable with this as he was eating so well at nursery with a great variety and quality of food. We couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

Review from Karen D (Grandmother of Child) published on 18 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our granddaughter (now 18 months old) has been attending the nursery for approximately 3 months and in that time, we have seen a very noticeable level of development in her speech, her interactions and her willingness to explore new things. We have been so impressed with the care given and the variety
of educational and fun activities provided. The feedback provided to the parents is also second to none. We could not be happier.

Very good one to one contact with my son and excellent feedback - always on collection daily and also on request. My son has gone from crying at the door before going in to happily strolling off by himself and not even saying goodbye :-)

Our 3 year old started in September and he has settled right in, straight away. He is so excited to go to nursery every time. The staff and facilities are fantastic, especially through this difficult time. Thank you Hungry Caterpillars.

Our little one loves the nursery. She was missing it all the time during the lockdown. On the first day back, she didn't even look back to say bye at drop off. Staff are friendly and engaging. Not the cheapest option but definitely worth the money.

Very caring and dedicated team. Has made my daughter look forward to every day at the nursery. Happy I found this place just when I was going to give up on nurseries because she failed to settle in the 2 previous places. So thumbs up from a generally sceptical mother.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) out of 10 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.865 for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 310 Ratings = 4.865
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hungry Caterpillar Day Nursery - High Wycombe is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 number of registered child places is 18, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
